Working with the public is great

An employee I supervise is getting married in August. She's working like hell to lose weight. Here's a conversation she had with a dumbass patron in our office the other day.

Dumbass: So, how much weight have you lost?

Employee: About 20 pounds.

Dumbass: Yeah, you can really see it in your face. You used to look like this (puffs out his cheeks); now you look like this (smushes his face with his hands).

Employee: (speechless)

Dumbass: You look good though!

So much for tact...

Ouch! That has gotta hurt, but at least a difference was noticed!

Speechless is right! How would you begin to respond to something like that??

"Dumbass" is clearly a fitting handle for that guy!!
